Issaied El Yaakoubi Faces Charges
The prosecution department at the Court of Appeal in Tunis has referred Al-Asaad Al-Yaacoubi, the former general secretary of the General Union of Secondary Education, to the Criminal Court of Ben Arous for trial on charges of illegal speculation regarding potatoes. The case dates back to October 2025, when approximately 13 tons of potatoes were seized from a warehouse. Al-Yaacoubi and another individual were detained in connection with investigations into hoarding and speculation related to the commodity. Legal penalties for such offenses can reach up to ten years in prison under the Decree on Combating Unlawful Speculation, with the possibility of increasing the sentence to twenty or thirty years in special cases, along with significant financial fines. This underscores the importance of the case in protecting the market from speculation and hoarding. The current developments will determine Al-Yaacoubi’s liability based on the evidence, while the final punishment remains subject to judicial rulings after the case details are reviewed.
